Somewhere, One Day by rilla (PG-13)
Hiya! I'm kaydee, and I'll be your History Boys driver this month. I'm particularly a Posner/Scripps fan, but really, I'll read pretty much anything, slash or gen or even het (not so common in this fandom), and I'll do my best to offer a wide range of fics for you all.
Fandom: THE HISTORY BOYS
Pairing: Dakin/Irwin

Why this must be read:
I thought it would be best to start with the very first fic I read in this fandom -- the fic that convinced me to stick around. This one turned up in last year's![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
yuletide, and hooked me immediately. The scenario is a fairly common one in this fandom: Dakin and Irwin finally get that drink. But this fic stands out because it's not just about that delayed gratification -- it's a vibrant kaleidoscope surrounding Lockwood's funeral and examining these peoples' lives, ten years down the line. Dakin and Irwin are both wonderfully characterized, and we also get good hard looks at Scripps, Posner, Mrs. Lintott, and how their lives are all still somehow interwoven a decade later.
And yeah, Dakin and Irwin get that drink, and maybe something more, and it all comes together so achingly wonderfully.
When Mrs Lintott looked over at Dakin's sudden explosion, she felt something in her chest sink.
It's beginning again, she thought, a little wildly, and upon meeting Posner's eyes, the palpable pain in them reassured her that yes, she was right, it was beginning again, but equally that there were destructive relationships and loves in this world far greater than the lamentable ballad of Irwin and Dakin.
